“It has been shown recently that brain size effects behaviour and can even influence population trends, so it would be expected that an increase in stupidity in some species would adversely affect their ability to perform their day-to-day activities.”

- biologist Mark Grantham, speaking of the red-legged kittiwake, a bird species “becoming too dumb to survive.”

Is humanity doomed as well? Look at these examples of people living within twenty miles of Independent Sources World Media Headquarters who have experienced difficulty with their day-to-day activities!
